Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made.\u00a0 Let us rejoice and be glad in it”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Have you ever really stopped to think about “today”.\u00a0 Today, the one more day on earth that God has granted you.\u00a0 The one more day of air that you breathe.\u00a0 The one more day on earth to spend with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

Today, my daughter heard her little one say “mama”, for the first time!\u00a0 There is nothing sweeter to a mother’s ear than to hear her name for the very first time.\u00a0 God gave her one more day here on earth, just to hear those sweet precious words.<\/p>\n

Today, I will soon be meeting some friends of mine for a fundraiser event.\u00a0 We are all part of the Christian Motorcyclists Association.\u00a0 It’s our annual fundraiser ride.\u00a0 We always enjoy this event because it is filled with food, laughter, prayer, praise & worship!\u00a0 Hundreds of bikes get together and we celebrate … this is the day the Lord has made!<\/p>\n

Today, there is a single mom out there who is struggling to make ends meet.\u00a0 She’s already working two jobs.\u00a0 She’s tired.\u00a0 But, she’s hanging in there, for herself and her kids!\u00a0 … this is the day the Lord has made!<\/p>\n

No matter what our circumstances, we should always choose to give God the glory.\u00a0\u00a0 Giving God the glory simply means that you are thankful to Him for giving you one more day …. one more day!\u00a0 That is something to celebrate!<\/p>\n

Maybe life hasn’t always been that easy for you.\u00a0 Or maybe life isn’t easy at all, today!\u00a0 But, I honestly believe that we have a choice in how we choose to see our day!\u00a0 We can give this day power for good or bad, by our attitude.\u00a0 Our attitude definitely sets our altitude!<\/p>\n

When you wake up in the morning and the first thought is “Oh this is going to be a LONG day…..”, and you accept that thought as though it were already, you’ve just given yourself a LONG day!<\/p>\n

BUT, if you wake up and think this thought, and you immediately rise up and say, “No it won’t be….THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE & I CHOOSE TO REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT”, you’ve set the standard for a MUCH BETTER day!<\/p>\n

Don’t let the enemy get to you with negative thoughts and words.\u00a0 CHOOSE to rise up against those words, and CHOOSE LIFE!\u00a0 CHOOSE to rejoice and be glad.\u00a0 CHOOSE to be more than a conqueror.\u00a0 CHOOSE to believe that with God ALL things are possible!<\/p>\n

Today, I CHOOSE to REJOICE, BE THANKFUL, AND BE GLAD!!<\/p>\n

How about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
